Such an extraordinary and elegant landscape full of synthetic poetry and peculiar warmth of vocal parts... Skillfully crafted, Dear Justin. :)

only music can achieve real spiritual contact and this creation a mantra in sound and lyrics, congratulations for your great contribution to the world in search of always trying to heal in reflections and sound

Deep and dreamy sound, great experimentation with a very interesting result!

Le soc bleu du croissant ouvrait un sillon d’or ;
Les étoiles dansaient cornues et lactées ;
Des flûtes de bergers essayaient un accord."

关云长　Guan Yun Chang（？～２２０）

Guan Yun Chang was a Chinese figure from about 1,800 years ago.

He is a popular figure in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, and for some reason is now worshipped as a god of commerce.

He remained loyal to Liu Bei, the founder of Shu Han, and was admired by many of his contemporaries, including Cao Cao, for his extraordinary bravery and sense of duty.

Among the military commanders appearing in "Epic of the Three Kingdoms," he was as popular as Zhuge Liang, and because he valued righteousness, later generations deified him and designated him as the Guan Di (Guan Emperor).

He is worshiped as the god of business in Chinatowns around the world. He is given special treatment in "Epic of the Three Kingdoms" and is described as Kwan Gong rather than Guan Yu.

Lyrics:
Let the Earth spin faster, if it must, 
While I seek refuge in stillness,
Where time turns to dust.

🌍💨♾
Earth's changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second.

For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to!

Let The Earth Spin Faster

The Smoking Trout continue our tale of the Quest for the Holy Dumpling. This time we're joined by our biggest crew yet! 

This one was a lot of fun!  I know when Jeff or Terry say there's a contribution from Jo, Tot, or someone new that it's gonna be special. This one has all of the above.  Really cool that there's 5 different countries representing here.  Terry did a fantastic job, as did Jeff, at pulling the collaborators and the mix together.  Happy to be a part of this one!

LYRICS

(Part I - Vocals by Neil Harding / Words by Jo Richter)

Those individuals on wheels had a hard time finding their feed. Hungry they were - for that special dumpling that connects you to anything pagans and believers alike deem holy. Although endowed with holographic properties, you can't walk on clouds unless they are numbered. They kept drifting upwards, therefore, slowly upwards until they hit the ceiling called Mars. Mars always happens to be where your head needs something to bump against. That's the nature of war.

(Part II - Words & Vocals by Stonerjazz)

It turned out
there was never any doubt
about
how it was gonna be

ya know it's hard sometimes
to get a grip
drifting in the corridors of time

everybody on the bus
runnin hard and hot
some of us holograms
except for Gus
he's an Alien from outer space
waiting for the rendezvous
at the window of the launch
in Oaxaca down in Mexico
Where the magic mushrooms grow

And his bus
a shuttle from the mother ship
disguised as a 1983 GMC
infinity
He's from another Galaxy
searching for the holy dumpling
just like you and me.

Hope we find that dumpling soon
maybe it's on the moon
traveling at the speed of light
we could get there sometime later on tonight

(Part III - Vocals by Wivresse)

Except for Gus (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #9)

Block them all.

The Deceitful

Wastin’ time is all we know
Let us lay down, let us lay low

We all chased a fallen ghost, far beneath the tide
Let us lay down

Let us lay down

[Before I tell you the story behind this cool remix project, lets get the mucky stuff out of the way. I don’t know if you’re having a similar experience, but world events have been choking the hell out of my muse lately. I spent the last few weeks just staring at my computer, clicking random things… staring blankly at all the windows… not really registering what was in front of me.

It was all feeling... trivial. And that’s when the red flags started flying. I had to remind myself just how important making music is to me; a key factor of my well being. I also realized that my creative energy, while trying to protect itself, was also hiding just below the surface of this thinly veiled funk.

So I want to urge all my friends to keep at it. Even if you don’t feel it at first... give yourselves the opportunity to lose yourself in creative explorations. We all need time away from the constant noise. And frankly, who better to handle a quarantine than creative people. We have all our toys readily available. :D Now back to the song.]

Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest remix; a special invitation from my good friend Jason Mowry (https://soundcloud.com/lazydadamusic, https://soundcloud.com/asleepwithheadphones), to appear on his album ‘Headroom’, coming out April 7th, 2020; (https://lazydadamusic.bandcamp.com/). Jason is another of the fine folks I encountered while hanging out in Eddie Shook’s ‘Anything Goes’ chat room (so, thanks for that, Eddie. You’re heavily to blame for this one too. Haha).

Jason mentioned the challenges of tuning a gourd (I can’t tune a kazoo, so I can only imagine). And the lyrics are very much about this evolving Man/Gourd relationship; a bond any musician can respect. Here’s a little message about the album from Jason himself: “This album is being released as a ‘free release/name your price’ for now, during virus lockdowns and whatnot.” It's possible he's trying to save the world; offering up sonic treats to keep our minds preoccupied… and I’m on board with that. ‘Music Soothes the Scattered Peeps’ as the old saying goes.

I hope you enjoy my latest Remix, ‘Oh, My Gourd’, (based off of Lazy Dada’s original track, ‘Kalimba’.) :D

Lyrics:
You've been adorned
With eight silver tines
When played in time
Their sounds combine

You've been adored
You sing beautifully
In four different keys
This ode's in G
It's easiest for me

Oh, my gourd
Plucked from your mother
To feed another
Now you will forever be
Hollowed, hallowed thee

Can you feel it?
Sway with me
Can you feel it?
Stay with me now 

I am the keeper of time 
These chords of three
Divided by me
To infinity

You are a speaker to my
Mathematical decree
And intrinsically
To my affinity

Oh, my gourd
Plucked from your mother
To feed another
Now you will forever be
Hollowed, hallowed thee

Can you feel it?
Sway with me
Can you feel it?
Stay with me now

Lazy Dada 'Kalimba' (GrevusAnjl 'Oh, My Gourd' Remix)

MESSAGE TO MY SC FRIENDS: I regret to admit, the Soundcloud bugs are such a frequent occurrence now, it’s effecting my mood and my creative energy; and I need to have the wisdom to stop using it. But there are a lot of you out there still putting forth the effort (and I greatly admire you for having the patience), so I also need to stop openly complaining about it.

Honestly, one of the main reasons I chose SC was the ability to connect with you, and support and celebrate your new songs as well. I can’t do that effectively anymore. And speaking from the heart (with a definite bias coming from my autistic wiring)… it feels insincere and wrong to me, to keep uploading my music here, if I can’t support your music as well. 

So long story short, as much as this sucks, I decided to cancel my subscription (which ends on June 29th). The way the world is going, my time (and money) need to go toward things that promote happiness. Clearly… buggy software does not. o.o

If SC miraculously gets these bugs sorted out by then, I will happily reactivate my subscription. If they don’t, the solo works will need to be deleted a few days before June 29th, to ensure there is room for all the collabs (I don’t want my collab partners to suffer any losses, because of my choice). 

Before that happens, I urge you to grab free downloads of anything you want. Please help yourselves to copy/pastes of any liner notes you enjoyed as well. And I will also mention, all my current and future works will still be found on Bandcamp (original liner notes included in each song description). Those are truly the best versions of the songs anyway (finalized for the albums), and they will remain free to download there as well.

If the Pro Account does go poof in June, it goes without saying, I would love to stay in touch with you via other methods. You are always welcome to message me at GrevusAnjl@mac.com, and let me know how things are going in your world. :)

Your friend,
Justin (aka: GrevusAnjl)
